Chapter 4 Out of the Indian Ocean (18)
The tax officer stared at Ding Yi in the swaying candlelight, as if he could tell how many of the true elements of the visitor from the far east were in it.
Listening to Morena's translation, Ding Yi shook his head and said, "No, I would rather call you Mamaud."
"Whatever you do." The tax officer did not worry about eliminating a syllable. He originally had the meaning of being praised in Arabic, and became three weird syllables. "You want to get this city, but obviously, the wood bones are
No one will agree with a ruler from the East, so you need me to act as this puppet. I think, this is the essence of things, right?"
He looks shrewd and cruel, both to his women and to himself.
Ding Yi shook his head: "It turns out that this is not owned by the Arabs. This city can accept Arabs as rulers, so naturally we can also accept us. You are like a frog in a well, only seeing this city.
.Don’t have such a self-righteous idea, I don’t need this city.” At least for now, that’s it.
Listening to Morena's translation of the past, unexpectedly Mahmoud nodded: "Yes, yes. I believe what you said, you are facing Mamuluk, and what you see is
The whole of Egypt." He stared at Morena and laughed, "With the descendants of Shagiredu, of course you don't care about the brim of a single wooden bone." This is the reason why he asked Ding Yi for Morena.
He recognized this. This was the woman Mamulik sent to various places and offered a reward of heavy money to capture.
Ding Yi did not argue anything. Because there was no need at all, he just put away the dry declaration and the stuff Mahmoud copied, and then said to the tax officer: "They two will stay with you."
, As your personal guard, no matter where you go or what you are doing. For example, sexual intercourse. Don’t worry, this is a temple man.”
Eunuchs have never been the patent of China, not only in the Eastern Roman Empire. Eunuchs have military and political power, naval commanders, and religious leaders all act as eunuchs. In the ancient Arab Empire, they are just from "One Thousand and One Nights". The figure of eunuchs
It is also something that can be seen everywhere. So when Ding Yishu Cao Jixiang stood in the candlelight, Mahmoud looked at the other person's appearance and nodded.
"They are not trying to monitor you, but I don't want you to die too quickly. I think that in this Mugudu City, the temptation of becoming the city lord is enough to make many people attack you." Ding Yi stroked his chin
Short beard said to the tax officer, "But I can only protect you for two to three years, and then I will leave the city. How to protect yourself at that time is your problem."
Mahmoud couldn't help but feel joy passing by in his eyes. Two to three years, this was a deadline that he could tolerate, but he quickly asked Ding Yi: "Dear Your Highness," asking Morena
After calling Ding Yi, he said this, "But as far as I know, it's a mess outside now, and I'm not the city lord yet..."
"You take them out and calm the chaos. When people find out that the city lord is dead, if you succeed in leading the crowd to quell the chaos and still can't be the city lord, then you will have no value for existence." Ding Yi said with a smile.
Mahmood shuddered a little, especially when he glanced at the female corpse on the bed from the corner of his eyes, he knew that Ding Yi was definitely not joking or intimidating him.
When he found that he had no way out, Mahmood also took his leave: "There are eighty heavy armored warriors around the city lord, who keep guarding day and night. Will the city lord really die tonight? If the city lord dies, I will be able to calm down.
The chaos in the city will be temporarily taken into account all the affairs in the city at least after dawn!”
"Okay." Ding nodded, and did not say anything more to him. He left behind Fatty Wen and Cao Jixiang, and quickly withdrew from Mahmood's residence with the others. At this point, it was necessary to test Ding.
When one has strength, if one does not have strength, there is no basis for cooperation. Perhaps Ding Yi can kill the tax officer or threaten him to do his own work, and it is unlikely that he will get the other party’s allegiance.
Ding Yi wrapped the wall again with Ala's robe, but on the way to the city lord's residence, it was a little troublesome, because it was contrary to the direction of the crowd, and he could not squeeze in the crowd, so he had to do it in the small crowd.
The alley was groping for the road, but if they couldn't walk, they had to turn around and look for the path again or climb over other people's walls. However, when they spent at least an hour approaching the agreed place with Li Le and the others, problems arose.
There were no surging crowds outside the city lord's residence. On the contrary, at least forty or fifty burly Arabs patrolling, watching them walking around in a telescope, almost certainly under their robe.
They are all wearing armor, which is likely to be an Arabic chain armor that has the flexibility of chain mail and also has the protective effect of armor. They also wear headscarf-style helmets. In addition to the eyes, the locks and curtains provide the face.
Protect.
Guo Jin looked at it with a headache and asked Ding Yi: "Sir, if it is a chicken breastplate, the gunpowder will dry after being damp, and it seems to be less powerful than before..." In other words, for breaking through the plate armor, Guo Jin
There is no confidence. In fact, it is not only the power of gunpowder, but also the penetration of lead warheads is also a big problem.
"If you can't hit the eye, move to twenty meters and fire again." Ding Yi remembered that the English longbow could shoot through plate armor within twenty meters. After all, it was a rifle rifle... but he immediately felt that this was a very irritating thing
The order of the egg is twenty meters straight, and the Arabian horse, famous for its short sprint, can be reached in the blink of an eye. "If you are not sure, shoot the horse first, then flirt with it, and charge and finish the attack."
Then Ding Yi fired the first shot at about fifty meters and hit the opponent in the eye very accurately, but the second shot was not so lucky and got stuck; the other five soldiers were in Guo
Under the leadership of anger, they also opened fire one after another. In fact, Ding Yi's decision was very correct. The soldiers were probably inspired by the courage to see Ding Yi hit the first shot. They all aimed at the eyes and opened fire, but none of them hit the target.
If the target was during the day, if these bullets were not affected by the tide, they would definitely not have had such a bad result. However, there was never any if on the battlefield. Guo Jin, who was only aiming at the war horses and firing, made a tall horse neigh and fall to the ground.
"Retreat." Ding Yi mechanically retreated the bomb and issued an order to Guo Jin without any emotion. The latter was not a pretentious bitch like Cao Jixiang, and he immediately executed the order, with five soldiers and Emperor Jing,
Morena evacuated to the bottom of the alley that had been reconnaissanced in advance. Not only were there originally piled up debris, but they also pulled three triple-marsoles in advance.
But Ding Yi did not retreat. He pulled the trigger, "Wang", and the gunshot sounded, and after erasing the life of an enemy again, he immediately threw down the rifle and pulled out the bayonet. There was no passion or enthusiasm in his eyes.
Just calm, he was like an old cooper who had been bouncing a bucket for decades, and was as calm as facing the broken bucket he sent. This was something he was familiar with, killing people.
He had to kill people because if these dozens of cavalry rushed over, three tripping horses could stop at least ten cavalry, and the other cavalry would still be enough to kill this team. This was not Ding Yi's fault, nor the soldiers' fault.
, This is the power of nature. If there is no problem with the fleet, Ding Yi would not have to face such a situation at all.
The manpower is now in poverty, which is a problem that has to be faced.
But as Ding Yisuo said to Morena, he will not give up nor abandon the people who are following him.
When the war horse galloped, Ding Yi jumped hard and jumped behind the knight. The other party's reaction was extremely fast. The high-rise scimitar stabbed out to his armpit, but when it was halfway through, Ding Yi had already
Lifting up his face curtain, the bayonet cleanly smeared the other person's throat.
Snatched off the scimitar from the dead knight, Ding Yi pushed the other party's body off the horse, slapped the horse's back hard, sat on the saddle, kicked the knife forward. The knight behind him called and drank Ding Yi couldn't hear it.
The Arabic dialect that I understand seems to be on Ding Yi's back, with the sudden sound of hooves and the sound of a scimitar passing through the air...
Dante Yi did not look back, he just ran forward. When the knight in front turned around in fear, he raised his scimitar and swept up with the force of the knife until he passed by the knight, and the other party's broken head was slowed down
Slide slowly from his neck. When the knights chasing Ding Yi angrily ran through the alley where Guo Jin and the others were hiding, no one looked back at him.
"Shoot the horse!" Ding Yi killed another knight in front of him and shouted loudly. Then when he returned to the knife to block the scimitar that the knight on the left, his left arm was cut with a bloody mouth, although it was not deep.
, but he began to get hurt because he was not wearing armor. This kind of immediately fighting swords, having armor and not having armor are two different concepts.
The cavalry that came up behind him, scimitars that were slashed like snow, let Ding Yi move left and right on the horse's back, and it seemed that the next moment, he was doomed. In order to avoid these deadly sword lights, he was in danger of escape.
Ding Yi had to show his good riding skills on the horse's back again and again. For example, at this time, he was riding on the horse backwards, otherwise he would not be able to withstand the sword light behind him.
But how many more can he block this? Not only did he start to get injured, but even the war horse that had just been captured under his crotch began to be cut. Although this accelerated the pain of the war horse, once it slowed down, the blood loss would make the war horse collapse.
